Details:

Currently functions that are defined in the command line are visible from .m
files . The outcome is that command line functions can shadow functions on the
path. So the behavior of a .m file function , that should be relatively
stable, depends on whether a function  is defined on the command line or not
that to me isn't reasonable.
So my suggestion is that command line function should see each other and any
other type of functions but they shouldn't be visible from non command line
functions.


Regards!
